Let’s play match-maker for the NFL Draft. I’m bringing together every NFL team with one SEC player.

Below, I’ve listed 32 of the best prospects for the 2014 NFL Draft and given them each one team that could a landing spot for them.

Rather than give some NFL teams multiple players and others none, I made sure to match only one SEC player for every team. 32 NFL teams were paired-up with one SEC player.

The farther down in the draft you go in trying to project them, the more variables come into play with where those players may end up, namely, previously filling that position need, trades, etc.

With each player, I also listed three other teams that would be good fits and possible landing spots for that player.

We’ll talk plenty about the NFL Draft and SEC football on the News Sentinel Sports Page with rotating writers and columnists from the Knoxville News Sentinel, weekdays 10am-Noon on The Sports Animal!

32 SEC Players

WR Odell Beckham Jr., LSUNFL Team Match: Pittsburgh SteelersWhy: Big need position with a talented, versatile, big-play receiver. He’s a guy that can freelance and get open when Roethlisberger scrambles and looks for targets on the move.Others: St. Louis, Philadelphia or Detroit

S Ha Ha Clinton-Dix, AlabamaNFL Team Match: Dallas CowboysWhy: Dallas needs help in the secondary, and Ha-Ha would be a good fit in Rod Marinelli’s scheme.Others: Chicago, Baltimore or Arizona

DE Jadeveon Clowney, South CarolinaNFL Team Match: Houston TexansWhy: He’s the best player, and the Texans have the first pick.Others: Jacksonville, Oakland or Atlanta

DE Kony Ealy, MissouriNFL Team Match: Detroit LionsWhy: Stout in the middle but with edge pass rush needing improvement, if he’s still on the board he may be too good to pass up.Others: Arizona, San Diego or New Orleans

DT Dominique Easley, FloridaNFL Team Match: New York GiantsWhy: Big need that the G-men may not get a chance to fill until Day 2. He’s a much greater talent than where he’ll be drafted. Steal.Others: New England, Tampa Bay or San Francisco

WR Mike Evans, Texas A&MNFL Team Match: Oakland RaidersWhy: Jon Gruden talked me out of it. Despite most mock drafts having Evans penciled in to the Bucs, Chucky brought up a fabulous point. Mike Evans is a big X-receiver that lines up on the right side and doesn’t go in motion or move positions. They already have a guy just like that in Vincent Jackson. I’m riding with fellow Tampa-guy Jon Gruden on this one.Others: Buffalo, Detroit or N.Y. Giants

RB Jeremy Hill, LSUNFL Team Match: New England PatriotsWhy: Because “Hoodie” isn’t afraid or guys with red flags, and he loves SEC players.Others: St. Louis, Oakland or Minnesota

OG Gabe Jackson, Mississippi StateNFL Team Match: Kansas City ChiefsWhy: No NFL team likes SEC players more than the Chiefs. He will be a good available value in the 2nd or 3rd round.Others: N.Y. Giants, Cleveland or Tampa Bay

OT Ja'Wuan James, TennesseeNFL Team Match: Miami DolphinsWhy: He’s a great fit on all levels including character, which that locker room can’t have enough of. He has the skill-set to be effective at right tackle in the zone-blocking scheme that almost half the league runs these days. He’ll quickly become a starter.Others: Buffalo, Seattle or Houston

OT Cyrus Kouandjio, AlabamaNFL Team Match: Washington RedskinsWhy: He has the upside of a former Redskins and Alabama offensive lineman, Chris Samuels.Others: Miami, Carolina or Cincinnati

WR Jarvis Landry, LSUNFL Team Match: New Orleans SaintsWhy: First LSU WR taken by the Saints since Devery Henderson will more than fill Lance Moore’s shoes. He’s a play-maker that will be Brees-endorsed.Others: Indianapolis, Pittsburgh or Miami

QB Johnny Manziel, Texas A&MNFL Team Match: Tampa Bay BuccaneersWhy: See Mike Evans above. This was also a late switch thanks to Jon Gruden. Gruden said recently that he’s not sure the new staff like Mike Glennon. Translated: They don’t. He’s in Tampa. He knows and talks to Lovie Smith. I’ll go with Chucky, who would go with Manziel, as I would. Bucs go bold with Johnny Football in Tampa Bay. He’d be great in Dallas too, but I doubt he’s around that long.Others: Jacksonville, Cleveland or Oakland

RB Tre Mason, AuburnNFL Team Match: MinnesotaWhy: He can get to the perimeter, break tackles and take it to the house. He’s just what the Vikings need as a backup to “All Day” Adrian Peterson.Others: New England, Denver or Jacksonville

OT Jake Matthews, Texas A&MNFL Team Match: Atlanta FalconsWhy: All the tools and pedigree the team needs to protect Matt Ryan for many years to come.Others: Oakland, Buffalo or Tennessee

QB AJ McCarron, AlabamaNFL Team Match: Arizona CardinalsWhy: Excellent fit with Bruce Arians’ offense. Former Alabama QB Freddie Kitchens could be coaching one of his guys as the QB Coach at Arizona.Others: Cincinnati, Minnesota or Houston

DT Daniel McCullers, TennesseeNFL Team Match: Baltimore RavensWhy: They’ve shown the most interest in him leading up to the draft.Others: N.Y. Giants, St. Louis or Arizona

QB Zach Mettenberger, LSUNFL Team Match: Tennessee TitansWhy: They’ve brought him in, he has the frame Whisenhunt likes and won’t be spooked by possible red flags.Others: St. Louis, Oakland or Green Bay

WR Donte Moncrief, Ole MissNFL Team Match: Indianapolis ColtsWhy: Talented, productive and versatile receiver that would flourish working with Luck.Others: Minnesota, Indianapolis or San Diego

LB C.J. Mosley, AlabamaNFL Team Match: Green Bay PackersWhy: Fits everything they need; an inside linebacker that can run sideline-to-sideline and stay on the field every down.Others: St. Louis, Minnesota or Miami

WR Kevin Norwood, AlabamaNFL Team Match: Seattle SeahawksWhy: His ability to get open in scramble situations is absolutely perfect for Russell Wilson and the Seahawks offense.Others: Tennessee, St. Louis or Tampa Bay

CB Loucheiz Purifoy, FloridaNFL Team Match: Denver BroncosWhy: Need position for a team that knows and drafts SEC players.Others: N.Y. Jets, Detroit or Jacksonville

DT Kelcy Quarles, South CarolinaNFL Team Match: Chicago BearsWhy: Bears need to get younger and more athletic, especially if they don’t land Donald in the first round.Others: Green Bay, N.Y. Giants or Dallas

OT Antonio Richardson, TennesseeNFL Team Match: Buffalo BillsWhy: He can slide right in to the right side as an upgrade, and he has the upside the Bills need and like.Others: Washington, Baltimore or Tampa Bay
